24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Aiken, SC
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows. Free water is pumped and extracted first, from hard floors and out of carpet and pad, before it climbs further into drywall and subfloor. The wet edge is metered and marked while the water is fresh, and drying equipment goes in the same day, because extraction is where the size of the job is decided.

Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
Why are the streets not paved?
It is deliberate and it is part of how the town works, keeping the sand tracks for riding. It also means that a street here absorbs a good deal of rain rather than shedding it all, which is an advantage right up to the point where a storm is heavy.
What does a heavy storm do to them?
Cuts them. Water running down a sand street carries the sand with it, so ruts and channels form quickly and the road profile changes, and the material ends up in the yards and drainage at the bottom of the run rather than staying on the street.
How does that affect a property over time?
It changes the levels it was built to. A lot graded to drain toward the street when the house went up may find the street has risen or the verge has washed away, so drainage that worked for thirty years stops working without anything on the property changing.
